Day 4

Today we pretty much finished reading the Inventor's Guide.  I would say that this week was a success in that we even got a step ahead and learned the basics of coding the robot's brain.  We also had a 5-minute Fun Friday by trying out the new Google Translate app.  We should be able to begin constructing a virtual robot on Solidworks soon since we were unable to this week.

Day 3

Today we found more links for guides to building VEX robots.  What we found especially helpful was a link to a page where we can download virtual VEX parts so we can put some robots together in Solidworks (no more MasterCam!).  This week we hope to begin construction on a virtual squarebot and find as much resources as possible.

VEX INVENTOR'S GUIDE

Today we continued editing our previous posts and pages on the blog.  We also looked into a new webpage pdf (the vex instructor's guide).  This webpage is full of instructions, tips and help for setting up and using various VEX parts.  This is especially important for the VEX logic parts.

Day 2

Today we finished going over our vex online resources.  Links to the different pages have been set up on the archive.  This week has been a success in gathering online resources for research, design, and construction of VEX robots.
